About

Westwind Capital provides asset management and financial planning to individuals, trusts, retirement plans and pension plans through its FOCUS Program. The firm manages client accounts on a discretionary basis and charges percentage-of-assets fees while also offering portfolio management for individual investors.

The firm’s investment process is organized around five FOCUS disciplines — Stock Management, Income Management, Balanced FOCUS, an ETF discipline, and a customized options strategy — applying a set of quantitative and qualitative principles with a long-term orientation. WWC implements strategies using individual securities, mutual funds, ETFs, closed-end funds and bonds, may enter into sub‑advisory arrangements, and allows clients to impose reasonable investment restrictions while monitoring accounts regularly.

Distinctive for a team firm of its size, WWC provides portfolio management for pooled and institutional vehicles, including retirement and pension plans and relationships facilitated through third‑party money manager and sub‑advisory agreements, a capability that is uncommon among peer team firms. The firm also offers a bespoke, on‑request options strategy for high‑net‑worth and institutional clients and maintains standing transfer authority protocols that result in custody oversight practices.
